    Hard Disk Woes

    you can place it vertically no problem. just make sure it doesn't move around during normal operation.. my hard disk's running that way too. won't affect perfomance in any way

    External HDD For booting

    given your situation.. the PATA option is best.. since you don't seem to think that's a very good idea(why?!?!) the next best would be USB. if you go with a PCI sata card, you will have to install drivers for the card in windows setup from a floppy diskette.. its a hassle.

    Hard Disks for Laptops

    you can just replace the internal hard drive.. should be around 4500-5000 Rs maybe.. get an 2.5" IDE drive. the other choice is to use a desktop hard drive.. as for power, you'll get an AC power adapter with your hard drive cabinet/converter.. so it'll run off that.

    Use of UPS/Inverter

    well... basically... computers are more sensitive to changes in the power supply.. even if there's a slight dip they tend to restart.. so UPS's either have more sophisticated switching circuits so that the time taken to switch to battery in case of a power cut is lesser, or they supply power...

    Master and Slave in harmony.... HOW ?

    well.... i think your current config is fine.. you have free IDE channel for your 80GB hard drive.. so that should be the fastest... the lag shouldnt occur normally... unless you're booting up from the old hard drive????

    New Pc Not Starting

    definitely need more info... (i) there might be a short circuit somewhere... did you mount the motherboard properly? if its touching the metal case or something as a safety measure the PSU will automatically turn off.. that would explain the "jerk" of the CPU Fan (ii) disconnect all other...
